Mr. Howo thought ho would bo vory gonorous r.nd givo us throo days off at tho ond of the yerr. The Senior class only getting throe drys off moro thrn tho underclassmen'. Con you imagine that? Svery othor yoar the Senior elssses got off school two wooks earlier than tho rest. Wo ask you WHY SHOULD Y.E BREAK THE OLD TRADITION?. Bccauso of tho limited space wo have boen allowod for this wo aro not able to into dotr.il» Thoro foro our only consolation is that things will bo eh? ngod so tho coming seniors will enjoy their senior yor.r more than we did.

Tho only thing lacking to make a prison sccno comploto when tho studonts r.ro going from ono room tc'mother -is .that they nro not singing, If I had tho wings of an Angol'V and they do not havo thoir hands upon tho shoulders of tho person in front of thorn, v;o can account for this last reason in that the studonts have both arms loaded with books for you have to carry all tho books that you havo during tho session as you ernnot got . into ycur locker tc put some in or tako ethers out. One of the big events of tho year was the initation of the Freshmen by tho Seniors but tho old tradition wrs broken this year by Colonel Joseph VY. Howe who refected the idea on tho grounds that thoro should bo no supremacy shown by tho seniors. This was only one of tho many privileges that was taken from tho seniors. • ' It sooms that tho girls and boys who won their letters in basket ball will havo to be satisfied in tolling that they wons ’ lottors instead of being able to show them for the Athletic Association sooms to bo so poor that letters cannot be bought. Vihy this is wo cannot soo for tho only expenses connected with br.skotbrll » t homo arc tho lights rnd the roforre and surely •’ . surely this would not use up ell tho money taken in as gate receipts. i - ‘ You can talk about your Louis-Baor or Carnora-Baor fight ' out givo us a ringside soat to tho Long-Graham battle if thoy would decide to mix it up. Wo’ro sure the fans would got their money’s worth because it v ould be tompor against temoor. Tho • contestants ought to bo in fine shapo for they in training by ■ working out on the studonts. ' Y c tliink Miss Boal suffered a groat disappointment at Christmas timo boca.uso the school board did not givo her comploto management of tho wholo school as a prosont and Mr. Stinson also suffered indirectly as ho would probrbly havo been assistant manager had the board decided in Miss Boal’s favor. vyhen you are absent o day from school you Just about havo to sign your life away to get back. There are yellow slips, rod slips, and white slips which have to be signed by parents, principal, and teachers with dotailod rousons for tho absendq. ' I suppose a good many fellows in the Senior Class wish now thoy wore taking Agriculture and is it any wonder because all thoy do is run around. I’ll bet Mr. Timmons Just about breaks himself working down in that hot cellar. Other years the Senior Classes usually had a little money in thoir troasurys from partios and etc. but this year tho Senior Class is ponniloss. Of course wo are permitted to have-' partios but you can imagine how dry that would bo without dancing. Anothor thing if wo did hevo a party to get money for ourselvos thoy v ould want to much to pay athletic debts ? nd othor dobts, that thoro wouldn’t be any left for the class. As for holding community dances ? nd tho proccods go the Senior class as almost every other high schooldoos tho Board of Directors put thumbs down.
